Awesome recipe, did include the ranch dressing mix to the batch and a bit of brown sugar (about 1/2 of a tablespoon).then let the soup simmer on low about an hour and we loved it. Thanks so much for giving us another recipe to add to our family menu. :)

This recipe looks great, BUT the sodium from pre-packaged spices is a trip to E.R for me with high BP. I season my homemade Mexican foods with spices, with virtually NO sodium in them.Could chef Meg perhaps play around with that type of version? I will definitely be making this my way until she does

Awesummmm! I was totally amazed by this recipe. I did use a lean ground turkey and rinsed the higher sodium beans. I also recalculated the calories and come out with 187 per 1 cup serving. So I added the ingredients to make taco salad and SCORE! Awesome supper-ness!

This recipe tasted very good. I was very full after eating a bowl of this (which was like 1 1/2 cups). It made me wonder about the calories quoted, especially with the large amount of beans, and only 1 can tomatoes. So, I added up all the calories, and I got 272 per cup, not 127.

This was great! I left out the meat and dropped it down to 8 servings, and it makes a wonderful snack. Next time I'm going to try to make it with fresh beans instead of canned to try to save on sodium.

This is delicious and easy. I used ground turkey i/o beef, and chicken stock to thin. It made a lot of soup so everyone was happy. Also, based on brands at my store there is no nutrional difference in the "fat free" ranch dressing powder - - so save your money.

A delicious taco soup although it was more like a great chili. Since there's only 2 of us, we enjoyed for a few days. I used no salt kidney beans, no salt black beans and no salt corn. If I could have found no salt pinto beans I would have used that too. This is definitely on my keep list.

TASTY - what makes it incredible is how fast and easy it is! I added 2 TBSP of chopped garlic (we love garlic) & I added one can of beef broth to make it soupy. I used Southwestern ranch dressing mix as that is what I had on hand. I topped my bowl off with aTbsp. of fat free plain yogurt. YUM!

This is delicious! It's one of the easiest, yet most hardy recipes I've made. I also substituted ground turkey and used low sodium taco seasoning. I think it would taste great with ground chicken as well. Instead of corn, I added a 10 oz box of frozen spinach it was great! Highly recommended!

It was really good and easy, my boyfriend liked it but corrected me when i called it soup, he siad "this is chili" i added jalepenos and left out black beans becasue i was out and addded some nonfat refried beans. it was great!
